Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy wife asked me to get some peanut M&Ms yesterday. (She loves them). So I went to the store.
They now have two different types that I have never seen before - Democratic ones and Republican ones. Never heard of that so I bought a package of each just to see.
When I opened the Democratic one, this is what I found.

They were all different colors and shapes.
When I opened the Republican one, they looked like this:

All the same size and all YELLOW!
Now I understand!

(29,349 posts)6. Yeah, it seems right to include even the scuffed-up ones
Theyre much more interesting than the perfectly uniform, monotone ones. Surprised the repuQ m&ms arent all white.
